In all likelihood, the Democrats will not hit 60 votes in the Senate (but come damn close, including possibly Liddy Dole’s seat). But if Sen. Obama wins, I don’t think they’ll really need to get all that way. Democrats will be at historical highs in the House and Senate, with a Democratic president. The country [...]

Seriously, why would anyone take either of those “news” sources seriously?
>> That Zogby Poll
>> John Zogby
>> Drudge, Lowry revived falsehood that Obama didn’t vote to condemn MoveOn Petraeus ad
>> Drudge highlighted Financial Times quote echoing false rumor about Obama’s religion
But the Freepers and the gang at Hot Air are positively giddy. Coming down from [...]

Just to give you an idea of where things stood and why conservatives are just making stuff up when they say Kerry lead Bush.
Likely voters surveyed in six major showdown states indicated that they are almost evenly split in their support for President Bush and Democratic Sen. John Kerry, according a CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll released [...]
Proposition 8 & California
October 31st, 2008

Prop. 8 is just the latest stupid proposition up for a vote in California. It is by far the worst system in the country for deciding on important issues. I don’t understand why people in California put up with the proposition system, where the state legislature abdicates its responsibility and millions of dollars on both [...]
Disaster Looming…

People forget that the GOP has recently held the advantage when it comes to get out the vote operations. The unprecedented GOTV for John Kerry in 2004 was beaten by one other… George W. Bush. Part of the reason Howard Dean became the DNC chairman was a commitment to a 50-state strategy predicated on maximizing [...]

The email, written by a volunteer at the party’s Temple Terrace office, was forwarded by Storck to hundreds of party members. It says, in part, “I see carloads of black Obama supporters coming from the [...]

In the heat of this election’s back and forth, a lot of nutty stuff comes over the transom. There is credible stuff, and stuff that simply isn’t credible. Any blogger with more than one visitor gets this stuff and its up to he or she to choose whether to go with it. That’s why it’s [...]

Subway Doesn’t Sell Swiss Cheese Anymore

Most days I go to Subway near my office and pick up a sub. Whether meatball or ham, I always get Swiss cheese – my favorite cheese – to go with it. All of a sudden they stopped stocking swiss. So I went to another Subway, assuming this was localized to just the one store. [...]
